Re-triggering failed translations

When translating content across multiple languages, the plugin handles each language request independently, and performs the translation for all successful requests.

If any request fails, you can re-trigger the translation for the failing language (or languages) and nothing else.

You have two options to do that:

Option 1: Publish all successfully-translated posts

If translation posts must have status draft to be translated (defined under Settings > General Configuration > Status to update), you can then publish those already-translated posts, or mark them as pending.

When running the Gato Translate action again, those posts will be skipped, and only the missing-translation post(s) will be translated.

Option 2: Execute the 'Gato Translate (Custom)' action

You can execute the Gato Translate (Custom) bulk action, to execute the translation using a custom configuration:

Then, on the form, select the None (disable translation) option for each already-translated language, and click on the Execute 'Gato Translate' button:

If re-triggering failed translations is your most common use case for the Custom Settings, you can have the None (Disable Translation) option applied by default to all languages, and then simply click on the Default link of the language to translate.

To do that, enable the Languages: Apply None by Default? option in the Settings, under Plugin Configuration > Advanced Usage.
